New Israeli machine Meron

43
At an exhibition in Paris, in the past year, the Israeli company Versia Military Design showed how it sees a modern machine gun. Needless to say, now almost every second armory the company is trying to surpass everyone in the creation of weapons of the most fantastic appearance. It seems that the weapon is created not for shooting, but for filming in the next action movie, while the developers are talking about the incredibly convenient use of their particular model, which, according to the advertising texts, should become almost an extension of the shooter's hand and shoot independently right on target. The Israeli company has chosen the Tavor submachine gun to create its “weapon of the future," which, in fact, has been repacked into a new wrapper, although some changes in design are not ruled out. And while no one even talks about the final weight of the weapon, one can already try to draw conclusions about how convenient it will be in operation, at least on the basis of what was shown at the Eurosatory exhibition. The main distinguishing feature of their weapons, company representatives consider the "high ergonomics" of the sample, let's try to start with this issue the initial acquaintance with the weapon.

First of all, it should be noted that a sample was created on the basis of the Tavor machine gun, that is, the main feature of this weapon is the bullpup layout. From the point of view of reducing the size of the machine, this is really a plus, but the ease of use of the weapon remains in question, since this layout gives the weapon a lot of flaws that, of course, need to be somehow addressed. One of the main drawbacks of weapons in the bullpup layout is that the release of a spent cartridge case occurs in close proximity to the shooter’s face. This not only makes shooting gas unpleasant because of the powder gases, but also virtually excludes the use of weapons when shooting from the left shoulder, since in such a case the shells will be thrown not just close to the face, but actually just before the bow. It should be borne in mind that the need to use his left hand is not only a problem of left-handers, but also the real need of any soldier who was behind the shelter to his right, well, do not lean out waist-high because of the shelter to fire. This problem was decided by the designers of Versia Military Desing quite traditionally, without further elaboration on how to implement a shotgun release, they just made it possible to switch between the shotgun release windows located on the left and right sides of the weapon. Unfortunately, it is impossible to say exactly how this has been implemented so far; it is not known whether incomplete disassembly of a weapon is required for switching. However, visually there are no switches on the Meron machine for this matter, so either I look inattentively or the task is not completely solved by the designers. In order for the weapon to be convenient for both right-handed and left-handed, the fire mode switch is duplicated on both sides of the machine, which is also the weapon fuse switch. Three-position switch: “Fuse”, “Single fire”, “Automatic fire”. In addition, the handle of the machine is also duplicated on both sides. In addition to these controls, on both sides of the weapon you can find sliders to disassemble the weapon.

An interesting point is that the weapon has an adjustable butt butt, so to speak, for the bullpup layout. It represents a retractable part with push-button fixation, the buttons are located on both sides of the weapon. The cheek stop is also implemented in the same way, which is also height adjustable. The sighting devices of the weapon are open, folding, mounted on a Picatinny-type plate, and additional sighting devices can be mounted on it. In addition to the main strap attachment, on both sides of the weapon there are also additional short ones. Handguards as such, the machine Meron does not have, instead of it a plastic lining is installed, which plays the role of an additional handle or rather an emphasis to hold the weapon. Under this overlay there is a seat for a grenade launcher, as well as a full-fledged handle, which is designed to make them more convenient to use separate models of grenade launchers. In general, it seems to me personally that without this plastic lining the weapon would be more convenient.

The most important feature of the weapon, which immediately catches the eye, is the Meron grip. It is not located at the top of the weapon, as is usually the case, but at the bottom, connecting the pistol grip and an additional hidden grip to hold it. The same handle to hold, according to the designers, assumes the duties of the safety bracket, so they decided to give it up, making the trigger large enough. Perhaps this decision will be convenient if the shooter has an excessive size of his hands or his hands are protected by very thick gloves, but the safety of the weapon, it seems to me, has suffered. Comparing with the same Tavor, immediately increases the size of the contour formed by the arms with the handles and the carrying handle.

The machine shop is fixed with a spring-loaded button behind it. The angle of inclination is such that it ensures the most reliable supply of ammunition, as well as the convenience of its insertion and extraction. The statement is, of course, more than debatable, since, like it or not, this is, by and large, a matter of habit. In general, the location of controls seems quite convenient, so the designers have really tried very hard at something.

The weapon is powered by the same 5,56x45, so to say that the Meron machine will differ in its characteristics from other similar samples. Nevertheless, representatives of the company keep saying about the uniqueness and effectiveness of their weapons without stopping, even involuntarily you begin to think, and suddenly a miracle really happened, but remembering the laws of the market, you quickly go down to the ground, because everyone knows that the louder the advertisement, the more ordinary the product. According to the company, they seriously expect to compete with their model with the best models of small arms, which is quite likely if the money for the promotion of weapons does not run out. Still, whatever one may say, but the cartridge is still the same from which it was already squeezed, if not the maximum, then came close to this. Perhaps, of course, it is still too early to make such statements, but, in my opinion, this machine is still the same Tavor, but wrapped in a different wrapper and presented as a new weapon. It is possible that for someone the new Meron machine will seem really super convenient, but for some reason I am sure that this will be a completely different number of people, different from what Versia Military Desing is counting on.

Let me remind you once again that new weapons and their final characteristics are unknown, most likely, even within the company. The same article does not claim to be a full review of weapons, it is still far from it, but just thinking out loud.

    From the point of view of reducing the dimensions of the machine, this is really a plus, but the convenience of operating the weapon remains in question, since such a layout gives the weapon many shortcomings, which, of course, need to be somehow eliminated

    Yuzal Tavor - very convenient.
    but they also practically exclude the use of weapons when firing from the left shoulder, since the shells in this case will be thrown not just close to the face, but actually in front of the shooter's nose.

    It is redone within 5 minutes to eject the sleeve to the other side
    П
    When doing this, consider that the need to use the left hand

    I don’t know what it is about. In Tavor, everything is duplicated under the left hand and does not require reworking the machine.
    Still, whatever one may say, the cartridge is still the same from which they have already squeezed, if not a maximum, then come close to this

    Well, this applies to almost any weapon. replacement for existing cartridges and calibers is not expected. All weapon upgrades consist in ergonomics, attachments, length and various shooting modes
    Once again I say, shot with AK (7.62 and 5.45 - urgent)
    also Galil, M-16, M-14 and Tavor.
    Tavor is without a doubt the most convenient. Yes, and hitch. I have never seen Tavor without a calimator.
    Meron - I haven’t seen it yet, but I think he will surpass Tavor, an adjustable butt and a more convenient socket for a horn - that’s how they say it.

      Versia Military Design - With the help of plastic half-hull linings made in China, they gave a new, unique look to a solid barrel, YOUNG design engineers!
      "Pukalka" given from the "upgrade" began to shoot at least 10% more heap, or the rate of fire increased by the same 10%, or the resource of the barrel and mechanisms increased?

        The gutter instead of the front lining, on which the second hand rests to hold. Under the cover plate is the mounting bracket. Let’s wait a little longer, either their whole business will stall or it will turn out that in fact this is the same Tavor, as it will be the fastest.

        Well, of course, gunsmiths are all in Izhevsk! Hugo Schmeiser, such an outstanding, purely Russian, designer of small arms, lived there in the second half of the 40s and early 50s. And, it is characteristic, it was during this period that the great Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov created his AK-47. Hence the conclusion: Russia is the birthplace of elephants!

          MironK For the sake of everything, don’t bring nonsense, this is from the series of the fact that everything in Russia-USSR-Russia is better, it’s supposedly either a tracing paper of the West or with the participation, it has been written and rewritten more than once, that Hugo has nothing to do with ours. the only thing I can agree with and only with a reservation, but not my own, are being developed. but the fact that many foreign models are most often not the names of the creators is for sure. but with regards to the fact that there are no gunsmiths in Israel, considering how many former ours there are, is it not a fact, has it been done from scratch or is it based on something else?


          And now the rebus question for Rebus, look at the photo of the so-called benefactors of humanity, the creators of weapons from Western countries, especially the United States, and tell me which ethotype they most resemble, having answered this question for yourself, you can answer other . or reconsider your point of view.

              As for the gunsmiths in Israel, there are very few Russian-speaking hearts. As in Taasia Avrit. The people began to come to some real positions very recently and still - in minimal quantities. In Israel, there was initially a very good technical school, so most of the developments are due to the pebbles that were laid in the foundation at the beginning of the 20th century.

                You are mistaken. IWI has approximately 80% of Russian-speaking workers and 20% of the engineering staff. The same goes for IAI. Until 1991 the backbone was composed of immigrants from the USA, England, Romania, Poland and the USSR. I have been working there for a long time and therefore I know the whole background.

I did not think that this fact is not known to you. However, this gap is not difficult to correct- Take a look at Wikipedia. I think it will become clear to you that it was not kosher on your part to call my words nonsense.

      And if you need to get around the obstacle to the right, while firing? For this, they are usually quickly transferred to the left shoulder. The tavor in this regard is useless since it implies the operation of the operator only from the right or only from the left shoulder. In the Russian A-91, this problem is solved.

      Here is a video demonstrating such tactical moments.

    This is a concept. The guys, if it is not clear, are engaged in military industrial design, and just like automobile companies present concept cars that have little to do with reality, and are intended for a general look at the future as a whole, and for public relations companies in particular, and here. The guys just want to be talked about, and talked a lot. What is not clear?

    No need to repeat from time to time the theme of transferring fire from one shoulder to another, such as, perhaps, blah blah. The same prejudice wanders from article to article, word for word. It has almost nothing to do with reality.

                  Honestly, I observed this problem with almost any bullpup, including Tavor. So it's not just about the patient in question. Here is a good example for you:

                  Move to the other shoulder and you can show the "I caught the shell with my teeth" trick. This minus bullpup goes from one weapon to another, somewhere it is pronounced, somewhere not. Please note that the distance from the window for ejection of spent cartridges to the shooter's shoulder is not so great. In short, okay, it's convenient for you, it's not convenient for us, after all, not everyone likes TT either and everyone is comfortable smile I’ll be preparing an article for tomorrow, this time without repeating this shortcoming hi

Proffies are very demanding they did not fit. 5,56 rounds, respected, is not a problem, as well as sniper cartridges, this is due to the fact that allegedly the special forces of Ukraine refused because of the non-standard caliber. By the way, 5,56x 45 NATO as 9x19 mm Parabellum are also produced in Ukraine.

But the guys who served with Tavor, therefore, dislike M-4. Therefore, in Israel, whole units, including reservists, go to Tavor.

      if he does not take part in conflicts "I will not take the Jewish army seriously, in fact their concept of warfare based on high-precision weapons and the collection and analysis of information is fighting in the Jewish army, thanks to usa for that).
      with a similar weapon, the Georgians fought against us, they had a TAR-21, and what did it especially help them ??? I think no :)
      in fact, all these dances with a tambourine are that Meron and TAR-21 are special forces, but
      there are not many special forces.
      The output of this automaton is as it were, but its application is clearly limited.
      This machine gun is suitable for high-tech armies, and these armies are only 3-5 pieces all over the world and each of these countries already has its own machine gun. Sell ​​to the Zulu ???

      Also, it’s never special, but the fact that even the latest Kalash did not receive a plastic receiver says a lot. Despite the total distribution of such toys since the G-36, there is a lot of dull grunts of Western warriors about their unsuitability. They do not keep an intense rate of fire, the position of sighting devices is lost, details are loosened. It seems to me that many are simply afraid to criticize in the open - jokes are bad with mega-corporations.
      Beautiful toys, no doubt, I have an airsoft drive at home G-36, but I would prefer Kalash in battle - definitely.

    Yes, here’s what I’m still thinking, as much plastic as it is light but still overweight, it will certainly work for the parade, but how to fight? Very convenient, again, the author of the article wrote that the departure of cartridges is switched from right to left, someone in the commentary indicated that this is done on the brand in five minutes, by the standards of the battle it happens a lot, and it turns out either to die or by cartridges in person. The weapon should not be beautiful; it should combine reliability, convenience and efficiency, and convenience in my opinion should be in third place. weapons should consist of a minimum of parts and weigh optimally.

        Countries Using TAR-21
        Azerbaijani Army Special Forces with TAR-21. Parade in Baku 2011 of the year
        Azerbaijan: in August 2008, a number of machine guns were purchased for special units of the Azerbaijani armed forces. [7]
        Brazil: licensed by Taurus. [8]
        Vietnam [9] [10]
        Georgia: since 2006 of the year, the Georgian army received ~ 7000 TAR-21 assault rifles of various options for a total of $ 65 million [11] within the framework of the military support agreement; at least 1300 assault rifles were received by the beginning of the war in South Ossetia [12]
        Guatemala: Police. [13]
        Israel: Used by the teams of Givati, Golani and Kfir, as well as some special forces. In 2010, the transition of the Nahal brigade to the TAR-21 began as part of the process of re-equipping all ground units. The TC-21 carbine is used by a special unit of the Israeli prison service.
        India: At the end of the 2002 year, India entered into a contract for the supply of 3 070 TAR-21 for use in special forces. By 2005, IMI had delivered 350 — 400 TAR-21. However, they showed unsatisfactory results. IMI made the necessary changes and the 2006 tests of the year in Israel were successful. Tavors are currently in service.
        Colombia: Used by AFEUR Colombian Special Forces. [14]
        Portugal: Special Police Units. [15] [16]
        Thailand [17] [18]
        Ukraine: Yuriy Lutsenko, Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, announced on October 1 of 2008 that IMI and the Ukrainian company Fort will jointly manufacture TAR-21 assault rifles, which will be commissioned by the Armed Forces and special units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. [19] [20 ] Which was partially implemented. TAR-21 is produced at the Fort factory under the name "Fort - 221" [21] partially from Israeli components in the military and civilian versions (USM without automatic fire mode), but was hardly purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In 73m, when the Israeli landing force was clearing the fortifications on Gollan, the battle took place in the conditions of cramped bunkers and underground communications, and after the war, when analyzing the actions of the parties, the General Staff Commission came to the conclusion that one of the components of the victory of the Israelis in this battle was that the paratroopers armed at that time with the "Uzi" patrol stations had the opportunity to change the store faster than the Syrians armed with AK-47s. he had a lot.
